Websites, apps, videos, social media, podcasts, e-books — these are all forms of digital media. Each one communicates information in a different way.

Types of Digital Media

  • Podcasts: Audio programs you can listen to on demand
  • E-books: Digital books you read on a screen
  • Videos and streaming: Moving images and sound
  • Apps: Software programs on phones and tablets
Digital Media:Content — text, images, audio, or video — that is created, stored, and shared using digital technology.

Reading Digital Media Critically

Not all digital media is equally reliable. When you encounter digital content, ask: Who created this? Why? Is it trying to inform me, entertain me, or sell me something? Is the information accurate?

Check the URL

The web address (URL) can tell you a lot. .edu = educational institution, .gov = government, .org = organization, .com = commercial. This helps you evaluate the source.
